Chapter 76 Beat him!
Chapter 76 Beat him!
Rod understood and comprehended Natsu’s determination.
After experiencing such a thing, kind people really don’t want others to suffer the same misfortune.
Then go all out and beat that unlucky guy back to his original form.
When the harpy came back with two fishes, Natsu was already sharing the barbecue with Rod.
Rod took two bites, but because he was too worried, he ate without any taste.
In order to quickly recover his physical strength and magic power, he chewed and swallowed mechanically, and after feeling full, he meditated for a while.
When the harpy’s fish was grilled, Rod’s magic power was almost restored, and the three of them put out the fire and set off again.
After the leopard man escaped, although he changed his position many times, Natsu had remembered his smell, so it was not difficult to find him.
Since Natsu was in charge of tracking, Rhode would concentrate on sending the river crab to scout the terrain.
He would try to find a few places with low fire risk as reserve battlefields.
”Found it!”
The three of them climbed over the second peak of the Dendrobium Mountain Range before they finally saw the leopard man again.
”This guy can really run.” Rhode held the pendant and summoned a group of shadow wolves and a group of razor beaks.
The group of shadow wolves and razor beaks lost in the previous battle will have to wait until tomorrow to recover.
The stone beetles were kept as a backup, and the two magic swamp frogs could not be used indiscriminately because there was no antidote.
”Natsu, there is a good open space 300 meters to the left of the maple forest in front and 200 meters in front.”
”I know, try to lure him there to fight, right?” Natsu is still quite sensible, and many times he does not do damage on purpose.
Rod recalled a river crab, intending to let it carry Natsu to charge, while he and the harpy followed the usual practice to find a suitable tree to watch the battle.
It must be safe and convenient for Rod to temporarily command wild monsters.
”Charge!” Natsu jumped onto the back of the river crab and excitedly held the river crab’s tentacles to urge it to charge.
The leopard man noticed Natsu and his first reaction was to leave here.
But when he turned right and prepared to escape, hundreds of feathers shot down from the air.
The leopard man took a few steps back to avoid the feathers and found that three wolves had blocked his way at some point.
He was not afraid of this kind of wolf, but he didn’t want to waste time, so he moved his feet and ran to the left instead.
”Hurry up!” At Natsu’s urging, the river crab used its skills and ran out of afterimages.
Rhodes wanted to name the speed-up skill of the river crab “Light Footsteps”, but he was always worried that the effect and the name did not match.
As the distance between the two sides quickly closed, Natsu could not hold back and shot out on the back of the river crab:
”Fire Dragon’s Sword Horn!”
Natsu’s body spun, and his body seemed to be surrounded by a whirlwind of fire, and he crashed into the back of the leopard man.
The leopard man stumbled forward, rolled forward, ran a few steps on all fours, and continued to run, his speed became faster.
”Hey! Weren’t you very good at fighting just now? Why are you running this time!” Natsu was so angry that he had to chase.
The river crab carried Natsu again, and Rhodes, Happy and other wild monsters followed behind.
Seeing the leopard man rushing out of the maple forest and about to reach the target battlefield, Happy suggested: “Rod, throw us out.”
”Okay.” Rod grabbed Happy’s body, imitated the posture of a sports student throwing a discus, and spun his body around and threw Happy forward.
Happy flipped nimbly in the air, and after adjusting his posture, he grew wings and accelerated his speed, even catching up with the river crab in front.
”Natsu!” Happy grabbed Natsu’s shoulders, “Maximum speed, MAX SPE~E~D!”
After grabbing Natsu, Happy’s speed actually increased again, and he took Natsu over the leopard man’s head before letting go.
”Good job, Happy!” Natsu turned over and kicked in the air, “Fire Dragon’s Claw!” The leopard man had to stop, crossed his arms to block the kick from above, and his wrist was blackened by the flames on Natsu’s feet.
“Answer the call, ancient stone beetle!”
Before the leopard man turned around, a group of stone beetles blocked his retreat, and another group of stone beetles burrowed into the ground.
Then, the shadow wolf and the razor beak blocked the left and right directions.
With no way out, the leopard man could only choose to fight, and his target was the shadow wolf.
They looked atIt seems easier to bully.
The shadow wolves dodged flexibly, and when they had a chance, they would try to bite the leopard man’s wrist.
Natsu would not let the shadow wolf be beaten, and rushed forward in three or two steps: “Fight with me, bastard! The iron fist of the fire dragon!”
The leopard man was forced to fight.
And there was a little problem with the harpy on the other side.
Before landing, the wings behind him suddenly disappeared, and he fell on the grass with a flutter, rolling out, and when he stopped, he was already dizzy and unable to move.
Such a strong acceleration just now was not easy for the harpy at all.
As a loyal person, Rhode took a “huge risk” to bypass the battlefield and picked up the harpy.
”It turns out that the harpy also has a unique skill.”
”Love~~” The harpy was dizzy and weak.
Rhodes wanted to complain about Harpy. If he became like this, then the retreat plan he had told him would be in vain.
But he couldn’t bear to say it out loud.
”Leave the rest to us.” Rhodes looked at the battlefield. The Leopard Man was entangled by Natsu and the Shadow Wolves and couldn’t get away.
But he didn’t know whether it was driven by instinct or brains, always thinking of finding an opportunity to kill the weaker Shadow Wolves to get away.
Rhodes saw the opportunity and raised his finger: “Ancient Stone Beetle!”
Crack, the ancient stone beetle broke out of the ground, and its giant pincer-like mouth bit the leopard man’s lower back.
”Roar!!!” The leopard man held the mouth clamped on his waist with both hands, and the muscles on his arms bulged, appearing a little thicker.
Under his huge force, the ancient stone beetle actually had a tendency to loosen its mouth.
At this time, Natsu jumped up and punched the leopard man in the side of his face: “Wake up, bastard!”
The leopard man’s head was hit so hard that it suddenly tilted to the side, and the flesh on his cheek was shaking.
Rod could see the power of this punch from a long distance, and the posture of this punch was so familiar, as if he had seen it when watching a fight in a tavern.
The leopard man’s eyes became clear for a moment, but then turned completely blood red.
His limbs and neck swelled up, and his muscles were knotted, showing a sense of strength.
Then, the leopard man really opened the mouth of the ancient stone beetle.
He turned around, clasped his hands together, and smashed the ancient stone beetle with a heavy hammer, turning it into two stone beetles.
Rhodes frowned: “(swearing), there really is a second stage!”
Natsu was happy: “Sure enough, beating him up really worked!”
The second stage was also expected, and it did not affect Rhodes’s command:
”Shadow Wolf, retreat! Stone Beetle! Bite the leg! Natsu!”
”Understood!” Natsu took a deep breath, and while the leopard man could not move, he spit out a blazing flame,
”Roar of the Fire Dragon!”
